Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true). The description adds the returned field set, which is useful context, but says nothing about failure behavior when a site is not found or access scope. With annotations doing the heavy lifting, a 3 is appropriate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two tight sentences: the return fields first, the input hint second. No filler, every clause earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Complete for a one-parameter read tool with annotations covering safety and no output schema needed beyond the listed fields. Only a not-found or access-scope note is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and the single parameter already documents url, path, and bare-name forms. The description reinforces the three accepted input forms ('url, host or slug'), adding a mildly useful restatement, so slightly above the baseline 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb (return) and resource (a deployed site), and enumerates the returned fields (status, address, size, expiry), distinguishing it from siblings like deploy_site and delete_site which perform separate operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is implied by the resource (you look up a site you deployed), but there is no explicit when-to-use versus alternatives and no exclusions. Siblings make the routing unambiguous enough that implied usage is adequate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
